I like photographing things that "go together" so last night I was cleaning a couple of my typewriters and decided to gather some other period-correct things that would go with each one. Here is "early 50s" and "late 50s" shots featuring some things that would have probably been on the table next to the machines back in the day...

As you seem to be a collector of typewriters: well, I own one vintage typewriter, what’s a “Fortuna” made by the German company Sauer & Sohn in the late 20s/early 30s. Well, in my “other life” I’m a collector of pistols made by Sauer & Sohn, Suhl. And I have a Sauer model 1913 marked with “RFV”, what’s in short the German Customs Authority. Guess what? My “Fortuna” typewrite also has a property marking of the RFV (R. Fin. Verw) …

That picture is AWESOME!!! I dont have any firearms pre-1983 or so but I am trying for one of the CMP surplus 1911s. I have a WWII Coca-Cola bottle and access to an olive-drab us army typewriter for the potential picture should I happen to get the 1911;)

Thanks! As you don’t have a 1911 to be photographed with the olive-drab US Army typewriter: a captured Luger would also fit!
